Yeah – first off, I agree with everything you are saying. I would just add that this is a larger problem just starting to come into focus, which is this: over a long enough period of time virtually ALL jobs will be eliminated. There was a time when man thought – let's make our lives easier by inventing 'tools' and eventually, we will have 'tools' so advance we'll sit around and discuss philosophy like we're all Greek aristocrats. Or something like that. Somewhere toward that goal we became overly fixated with money/wealth and the pursuit of endless profits. Meanwhile, companies continue to post record profits while downsizing - gee, I wonder why. The reality is, we need to start to figure out and move toward a new way to run the world. I always semi-land in a kind of Star Trek: TNG 'creation socialism', or whatever it is they have as a means of structuring a society, where you have a replicator that can create almost anything for you. They also have 'intellect machines' that are often used to build things from just describing what you want, or in other situation to dig into engineering problems, etc. Things that we are now starting to do with our new GPT tech. Putting all this another way – how are all these corporations going to continue to exist when there are no customers to buy their products, because there are no jobs left. Basically, money as we know it is going to go away, we won't be a society of limited resources anymore. And again as a reminder, this isn't something I'm saying is 2-5 or even 50 years away (maybe?). What I'm saying is that set the timeline however you want, it is going to happen, and we need to start to plan for it now. Based on what's happening already, we're likely at the start of a 20 – 50 year transition towards a new form of society entirely.
